    Yep, if you're going to do this, get the PS phone app, it's quicker and easier to approve in there than anywhere else I found. I'm lucky enough in that the kids are almost exclusively playing fortnite or other games that are under their age limit already. But be warned, the DLC stuff for fortnite is a bloody nightmare. The amount of time I've spent trying to get fortnite currency into their accounts instead of mine is very upsetting.

    Looking into it more, it looks like i can't even create an account for her as she's under 7. I'm just gonna stick with the offline profile for now and set the age restriction to 7 for the Lego games. I just wish you could hide game icons for games over that but I'll get over it. Thanks for the info Red!

    Not just far handier to have a cheap older console with legs games for it. Ps3,ps4 slim,xbox. Whatever. Its simply any disc she throws in and done.

    I kept getting asked by my siblings on setting this craic up. I never knew how because I've never had to. I ended up having to do it for my sisters youngest, and it's a pain in the hole. Glad I don't have to manage it constantly.

    I started playing Jedi Fallen Order for the PS5 last night, I'm glad I got it free from playstation plus because the graphics are hilariously bad 😂

    Literally in the opening scene the draw distance erased half a ship and a bunch of holes opened up in it


    It looks like a game from 2008 and the motion capture looks like it's from 2003

    Does it look better on the PS4? Maybe the conversion to the PS5 messed it up


    It's a good game so far but I'm just amazed a AAA title got released looking like that

    I didnt have any of those issues with the PS4 version. I thought it looked "fine" and was a really enjoyable game.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,157 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    Don't get me wrong it's a good game, and I've only played the first couple of levels and I'm enjoying it overall so far

    Just found the graphics really dated looking by today's standards, pretty sure Mass Effect 2 looked better.

    If it was coming from a small developer then that would be fair enough but Respawn are big enough and have made other titles that looked better

    Sony 2023 upcoming trailer. Majority games marked as "Coming to PS5 only".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Didn't have any of those issues and also thought the graphics were fine


    It's the stupid map I have issue with 😂

    Trying to find your way back to the ship was a nightmare for me🤯

    The maps in it are a nightmare, especially considering when you've to retrace your steps so many times on each world



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,538 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Phew - for a second I thought that meant they were PS5 exclusives!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,515 ✭✭✭jj880


    There'd be some freak outs if that were the case. Looks like the phase out of ps4 is ramping up.

    No Silent Hill 2 in that video, a previous blog post for this year's games also didn't mention it. I could have sworn that was slated for 2023. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the new Alone in the Dark, didn't even know it was a thing.

    Lots of big games coming out this year. Felt like I spent most of last year twiddling my thumb's because I'm not into Elden Ring!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,565 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Shaping up to be a good year I reckon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭recyclops


    Kept the Ps5 for GoW which was grand, now keeping it for silent hill which I for some reason thought was out in February. Disappointing.

    Surely it's out this year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,157 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    My first and only alone in the dark games was the one for the PS3, alone in the dark inferno I think it was


    Probably not the best introduction to the series 😂

    Yeah starting to get that vibe now, exploration is nice but I shouldn't need a degree in cartography to figure it out. Would a fast travel system be too much to ask?

    Also, why is every game these days a dark souls rip off? I like a challenge but I'm really not bothered exploring every single path and trying to find the enemy that killed me and try to avenge myself and get back lost xp and health

    I finished Jedi Fallen Order just 2 nights ago and the maps bugged me at the beginning as it's not explained at all. It's the return journey especially that had me going in circles. But, once you figure out the system (I think it was third world for me, wall run applied at this point) it actually works and you wonder why you could'nt have figured it all out earlier. I loved the story and thought it was worth at least one playthrough. It helps if you are a Star Wars fan as nostalgia kept me going at times.

    Had my 5 since launch and it was gone to the stage that any updates or downloads was resulting in window rattling noise from the fan so I bought a new one yesterday. CEX are giving me just over 500 for the existing 5 with two controllers (both of which are becoming a bit sticky) and a couple of games. Happy enough with that.

    1 of my favourites in VR and 2D 😍



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,789 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Some poor bastard is going to get your one from CEX, hopefully CEX repair it first, but I wonder.

    It is strange that uploads, downloads should tax the fan. It's not a very demanding task.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,684 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Quick question, if I buy a game like Gran Turismo 7 from Amazon.de, will I still be able to get the English language option? Because the packaging is all in German.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,833 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    I think so. From memory, I think all such games sold in Europe have to have the language options for other EU countries. I assume so anyway considering those language/subtitle options are always on the UK/Ireland versions of the game anyway. You may need to try navigate the initial menus in German to try find where to change it though.

    Maybe wait for someone to properly confirm though as I'm just going on assumptions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,525 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    As far as I understand it, the language the PS5 itself uses will default what the language is used for most games. I believe there are ways to download additional language packs but considering everyone here is likely to be looking for english, I'd be surprised if the fact that your system is running english doesn't solve your import problems :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,507 ✭✭✭DaveyDave


    I didn't take to it when I was playing it first, I've heard good things about it a few times. I must give it another shot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,515 ✭✭✭jj880


    It really shines in VR. I read yesterday Drool are making it a paid upgrade for ps5/psvr2 if you already own it. Details to be announced soon.

    I enjoyed Thumper on the PSVR, but it's not one I could play for ages. Visuals are mental and can get so fast iirc that it's a bit taxing!

    Never mind that though, as much as I welcome it, announce Ragnarock already!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,515 ✭✭✭jj880


    For sure its an endurance/memory test. S rank gets brutal but I like it. Im probably in the minority on that 😂. 120hz upgrade though. Gona have to try it.

    Always meant to get Ragnarock on Quest 2. Looks really good.

    Ragnarock has basically the bands I listen to, so I'm only mad to get a bit of gameplay to the shredding sounds of pirate metal!
